Accurate and Prompt Payroll Processing

We integrate tightly with internal HR and finance teams to centralise key data like new starters/leavers, salaries adjustments or overtime within our secure cloud solution.

‍

Customisable Payroll Solutions

‍

As seasoned payroll advisers we recognise no two firms require the same approach given variances in headcount, pay frequencies, salary sacrifice arrangements, overtime prevalence, international workers and mobile employees. So our secure online platform allows tailoring key facets to match nuances.

‍

Configure payroll calendars for weekly, fortnightly, 4 weekly or monthly cycles. Define multiple pay groups with customisable earning and deduction rules if mixed remuneration policies span teams, regions or employment types. Build templates modelling typical employee scenarios for efficient scheduling. And produce consolidated or separate payslips by division.

‍

Adaptability streamlines payroll choreography across organisational complexity ensuring precise fit-for-purpose solutions today and into the future as needs evolve via self service tools.

Pension Auto-Enrolment Management

‍

Navigating ongoing pensions auto-enrolment duties remains an administration headache for UK employers despite initial staging deadlines passing. Our parallel pension management functionality integrated to payroll processing looks after necessary assessment, communications, declarations, opt-outs, enrolment notices and contribution calculation for this regular obligation.

‍

Accurately automatically enrolling entitled employees into company schemes, applying escalating employer contributions from legal minimums up to more generous offerings and keeping workforce updated on changes as they progress removes significant overhead for managers. Ongoing guidance on maximising tax reliefs provides further value. Outsourced pension administration and payroll in tandem offers powerful efficiency.

‍

Employee Self-Service Portal Features

‍

Via our secure online platform, employees access personalised payslips, P60 tax certificates and update details like bank account particulars. Managers can approve timesheets and expense claims feeding seamlessly into periodic payroll batches with an audit trail.

‍

Centralising individual payroll interactions reduces HR administrative tasks for common requests and keeping information current. Integrating flexibly with legacy systems or feeding data to external partners streamlines operations helping staff feel empowered via self service. The portal offers real time payroll visibility.

‍

Tax and Deductions Handling

‍

Our payroll software seamlessly interfaces with HMRC to maintain accurate, up to date employee tax codes, automatically applying personal allowance thresholds and handling additional rate bands across the tax year without need for manual changes. Student loan, attachment orders, salary sacrifice and other deductions integrate via configurable rules.

‍

Correct income tax payments are then calculated each period and paid over promptly on the employers behalf through RTI aligned BACS transfers for PAYE and electronic submissions for NI matching usual monthly or quarterly schedules. At year end we validate totals against expectations to explain any residual liabilities. Getting tax obligations right avoids future challenges.

‍

Year-End Reporting and Compliance

‍

As calendar years close, we manage all key payroll reporting and compliance formalities from collating and analysing annual pay data to producing electronic P60 employee certificates and passing to HMRC before deadline. Employer returns are completed regarding Class 1A National Insurance on benefits to ensure settlements ahead of July payment window and P11D forms submitted for expenses and benefits to enable accurate personal tax assessments.

‍

Our expertise directs appropriate tax code adjustments or refund claims arising from annual reconciliation ensuring individuals don’t owe unexpected sums whilst recovering overpayments on companies behalf where applicable. Taking responsibility for payroll year-end tasks allows managers renewed focus on priorities.
